(which he says is not a ripoff)

It seems that they had planned to have a cover with Tim and an owl on the cover. Yet it got killed because TW was just releasing one of the HP movies. And someone upstairs thought it would cause an embarrasing conflict in the company.

Back when rocks were soft and Sting was innovative. I can still see the kid I was when I loved that book if I stand someplace high and peer… but there are many, many things I loved at that age (and younger) that I still love. They stopped watering that plant a hell of a long time ago. ]]>By: Jeffhttp://comicsworthreading.com/2007/08/04/elfquest-left-dc-over-merchandise-film/comment-page-1/#comment-72172 Sun, 05 Aug 2007 22:17:42 +0000http://comicsworthreading.com/2007/08/04/elfquest-left-dc-over-merchandise-film/#comment-72172While I absolutely, positively agree with your “doesn’t anyone just want to do comics anymore?” comment, I think it’s worth noting that the Pinis have been doing Elfquest for*ever*.

I kinda can’t blame them for wanting to get a big paycheck out of their intellectual property.

And in a world where the Lord of the Rings trilogy grossed over a billion dollars, I’m kinda surprised they haven’t gotten one yet…
